Absence of spin liquid phase in the $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg model on the square lattice

Abstract

We perform an in-depth investigation of the phase diagram of the $J_1-J_2$ Heisenberg model on the square lattice. We take advantage of Density Matrix Renormalization Group and Fully-Augmented Matrix Product States methods and reach unprecedented accuracy with large bond dimensions. We utilize excited-level crossing analysis to pinpoint the phase transition points. It was believed before that there exists a narrow spin liquid phase sandwiched by the Néel antiferromagnetic (AFM) and valence bond solid (VBS) phases. Through careful finite size scaling of the level crossing points, we find a direct phase transition between the Néel AFM and VBS phases at $J_2/J_1=0.535(3)$, suggesting the absence of an intermediate spin liquid phase. We also provide accurate results for ground state energies for a variety of sizes, from which we find that the transition between the Néel AFM and VBS phases is continuous. These results indicate the existence of a deconfined quantum critical point at $J_2/J_1=0.535(3)$ in the model. From the crossing of the first derivative of the energies with $J_2$ for different sizes, we also determine the precise location of the first order phase transition between the VBS and stripe AFM phases at $J_2/J_1=0.610(5)$.
